My introduction

Posted July 26, 200519 yr

I have been a reader of the threads here for a while but this is my first post. My name is Brian and I live in San Diego, Ca. I have a '71 Skyline that I brought in from Japan late last year. I have pretty much torn it down and rebuilt most of the essentials. My car, like most other KGC10's, is a full GT-R clone. It is actually a GT-X with the power windows and such. The drivetrain was pretty much standard when I got it but now there is an RB26 in it's place. The suspension is full comp now with 17 x 8 front and 17 x 9 rear wheels shod with race tires. I pulled out the Nismo R180 and installed a Kaaz R200 with 280ZX turbo C.V. joints and a full 5 lug conversion using parts from an '86 300ZX. I have Wilwood brakes on all four corners and just recently finished the motor and tranny mounts. Here are some pics of the progress. I have started with the day I picked it up from the port. The next are of a trip to a local car show. All the rest are of the rebuild over the last 8 months.

the 4 door gc10 no longer belongs to chuck its now my friends car and is waiting for some motor to drop in. he has so many cars to finish he doesnt even have time for his GC10 right now, he has a 600hp datsun 510 and trying to finish a 500rwhp 240sx with sr20det motor and other projects that he has to finish but as for the GC10 he now has the wide racing flares that were made for the 4 door that he got from japan and will make his car look badass with the 16x9.5 and 16x8.5 watanabes. it is a beautiful and clean car his next mission is to get a 2 door gc10 and a Gnose fairlady Z. laters
